Cold Water Shave
Pre: Neutrogena Soap Face Wash, Noxzema Cream as PreShave
Razor: Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem SS PFTE (6)
Brush: Vulfix 374 Super Badger
Soap: Proraso Cream, Green
Post: Osma Alum Block, T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel, Nivea Deep A/S Lotion, Bulldog Moisturizer
Since this is my first Gem SS PFTE blade (thanks again Dave) and not having any idea how many shaves I can expect to get, I'm going back to the Damaskeene for a few days. So far, this has been the smoothest, easiest shave...until it bites me down the road!
The standard two and a half passes with no problems. I found myself chasing/over-shaving a bit at the end and might have earned some minor irritation.
The Proraso Green in the tub was one of my first soaps. While out shopping yesterday I found a tube of the Green cream at Marshall's for $4.99. It looks like this is the older color tube, but it face-lathered up just fine.
